I’m originally from Oklahoma, so there’s nothing I love more than a good meal of meat and potatoes! Especially when they’re kicked up a notch, like in the pairing of Cajun Potatoes and Blackened Beef Tenderloin.

Excellent side dish. Very tasty
I’ve never seen purple potatoes but I’m definitely going to try this recipes with the regular sort!
What exactly is a purple potato? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before. Are they hard to find? Do they do by another name other than purple potato?
Looks great!
